I WENT MOUNTAIN BIKING!



Recommended Posts

I'd say you're an official mountain-biker now that you have the scars :)

Lol! I was just thinking that being morbidly obese was dangerous for me...

But now getting healthy is going to kill me! :P

OUCH!! Glad you are ok. I had a nasty spill one time while test riding a bike I was thinking about buying. The chain broke when I shifted gears and wound up in the rear wheel. They were shocked at the store when I walked back up with the bike and was bloody. Needless to say, they did't care about the bike...just me. I guess if I was thinking right I could have gotten a deeeep discount on that bike...lol

Maybe so but you'll be hot and sexy right up until the day you ride your bike into one of those redwood trees.

Lol! Yes I think I need more practice before doing crazy downhill single track again.

Oh my shifting is getting better though.

And as hard as the uphill is its not as scary as barreling down (And over the handle bars) :P

Laura' date=' glad you're not hurt too bad. Wait until you switch to a road bike and start riding clipped in. There is a learning curve. I fell on day two and rolled in a ditch and didn't clip out. My ankle to this day still acts up sometimes. It was 101 yesterday and felt like 98 today. Shooting for 20 miles in the a.m. tomorrow.[/quote']

Oh and 20 miles! That's awesome! I will be with you in spirit, while I nurse my boo boos!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
